## Why list_software_licenses is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves software license data with no side effects. It presents information for visibility and compliance checking but does not create, modify, delete, or trigger external operations. The blast radius of misuse is limited to potential information disclosure of license inventory.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_software_licenses' and description 'List software license records with compliance status' indicates retrieval of existing records without modification or deletion. The verb 'list' is explicitly a read operation."

## Use case

AI agents call list_software_licenses to retrieve information from NowAIKit — ServiceNow AI Toolkit without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches NowAIKit — ServiceNow AI Toolkit:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_software_licenses": {}
  }
}
```
